HS-4 · Heading

8113Cermets; articles thereof, including waste and scrap

Chapter 81: Other base metals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8113 when importing or exporting cermets and articles made from them, such as cutting tools or wear-resistant components. For example, if you’re shipping carbide-tipped drill bits, this heading is likely applicable.

Cermets, a composite of ceramic and metallic materials, are often used in high-performance applications. If your shipment includes cermet waste or scrap, it still falls under HS-6 811300, which covers both finished articles and their by-products.

When deciding between HS-4 8113 and other headings, consider the specific material composition and intended use. For instance, if you have a product primarily made of metal with minimal ceramic content, it may belong to a different heading.
